The Angel Song
Great White
Fallen angel
Ripped and bruised
Think on better days
Life is rude
Treats you bad
Tears your wings away
Raise your eyes to star and sky
Believe in fly aways
Take your dreams, your broken schemes
And sweep the past away
Fly lonely angel
High above these streets of fire
Fly lonely angel
Far away from mad desire
Hollywood ain't paved with gold
It's just a trick of light
Sunset falls on stars of old
And blinds you with its light
A spider's web of tangled lives
Lays stretched across the hills
From distances it's glistening
Like El Dorado's halls
The dream was light
And fragrant nights
But how were you to know
The streets are hard
They're mean and scared
Where only fools find gold
Fly lonely angel
Spread your wings another way
Fly lonely angel
Find a better way
A better day

If I had wings, I'd fly
I'd fly away
If I had a light to give
Each and everyday, no
And if the Angel of Love
Upon my shoulder
My very least is
To try and fly away, hey, hey
All this walking and talking
Mix my loud and easy, hey
All this rustlin' and tuslin' on the job
Life sure ain't green there, no
But if I had wings, oh this evening
Just enough for
And I had no words, no words to say
I'd fly away, hey, hey
I'd fly away, hey hey
Let me fly away, hey, hey
Yes, I'm flying
Flying
I'm flying right now, yeah
Ooh, I'd fly away
All of this talk about flying away
Looking here to the far blue yonder
Listen to me
I tell you that is sets my heart aglow, yeah
Kinda makes me wonder
The city of Angels with the light
That shines forever, I said forevermore
Makes me fly away, hey, hey
Oh, she will let me fly away, hey, hey
Make me fly away, hey, hey
Play this song, yeah
And how are you this evening?
For an Angel my wings
I'd fly, fly, fly, fly
I'd fly away, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
'Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away'
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away

It was an early morning bar room,
And the place just opened up.
And the little man come in so fast and
Started at his cup.
And the broad who served the whisky
She was a big old friendly girl.
And she tried to fight her empty nights
By smilin' at the world.
And she said Hey Bub, It's been awhile
Since you been around.
Where the hell you been hidin' ?
And why you look so down ?
But the little man just sat there like he'd never heard a sound.
The waitress she gave out with a cough,
And acting not the least put off,
She spoke once again.
She said, I don't want to bother you,
Consider it's understood.
I know I'm not no beauty queen,
But I sure can listen good.
And the little man took his drink in his hand
And he raised it to his lips.
He took a couple of sips.
And he told the waitress this story.
I am the midnight watchman down at Miller's Tool and Die.
And I watch the metal rusting, and I watch the time go by.
A week ago at the diner I stopped to get a bite.
And this here lovely lady she sat two seats from my right.
And Lord, Lord, Lord she was alright.
Oh she was so damned beautiful that she'd warm a winter's frost.
But she was long past lonely, and well nigh unto lost.
Now I'm not much of a mover, or a pick-em-up easy guy,
But I decided to glide on over, and give her one good try.
And Lord, Lord, Lord she was worth a try.
Tongued-tied like a school boy, I stammered out some words.
But it did not really matter much, 'cause I don't think she heard.
She just looked clear on through me to a space back in my head.
And it shamed me into silence, as quietly she said,
'If you want me to come with you, then that's all right with me.
Cause I know I'm going nowhere, and anywhere's a better place to be.
Anywhere's a better place to be.'
I drove her to my boarding house, and I took her up to my room.
And I went to turn on the only light to brighten up the gloom.
But she said, 'Please leave the light off, Oh I don't mind the dark.'
And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her, I could hear my heart.
The moonlight shown upon her as she lay back in my bed.
It was the kind of scene I only had imagined in my head.
I just could not believe it, to think that she was real.
And as I tried to tell her she said 'Shhh.. I know just how you feel.
And if you want to come here with me, then that's all right with me.
'Cause I've been oh so lonely, lovin' someone is a better way to be.
anywhere's a better way to be.'
The morning come so swiftly but I held her in my arms.
But she slept like a baby, snug and safe from harm.
I did not want to share her with the world or break the mood,
So before she woke I went out and brought us both some food.
I came back with my paper bag, to find out she was gone.
She'd left a six word letter saying 'It's time that I moved on.'
The waitress took a bar rag, and she wiped it across her eyes.
And as she spoke her voice came out as something like a sigh.
She said I wish that I was beautiful, or that you were halfway blind.
And I wish I weren't so dog-gone fat, I wish that you were mine.
And I wish that you'd come with me, when I leave for home.
For we both know all about loneliness, and livin' all alone.
And the little man,
Looked at the empty glass in his hand.
And he smiled a crooked grin,
He said, I guess I'm out of gin.
And know we both have been so lonely.
And if you want me to come with you, then that's all right with me.
'Cause I know I'm goin' nowhere and anywhere's a better place to be.

I been searchin' for so long
For a love to fill my life--soldier me on
Feel the hunger in my blood
As I walk into the fire I can't get enough
Where, oh where can I find You
I have seen You and called Your name
Walked the streets of my life in vain
Seen the idols with feet of clay
Pull me closer--push me away
Where, oh where can I find You
Where, oh where
Times have taught me to use my time
Journey's end is an endless climb
...When to follow and when to lead...
When to know just what I need
Where You gone G.O.D.
Have You gone down on me--don'tcha do
I ain't ready for no second-hand love
I'm no stranger to this loneliness
Leave me lonely--leave me lost
Leave me nothin' but myself to carry the cost
Now the only, only reason to come to You again
You gotta fight to win your freedom--lose your chains
Love's illusions ring all too clear
Cross my mind when I hold You near
Know Your pleasure--You leave me cold
Lonely nights with my thoughts untold
Where, oh where can I find You
Where, do Ya care
I don't care what the price may be
'Down' is right when You're down with me
Can You tell me--am I to blame
Sing my song to Your heart's refrain
Where Ya gone G.O.D.
Have You run out on me-don'tcha do
All You give me is second-hand love
All I wanna do is get on down with You
All I ask for and all I pray
Meet You down on the streets one day
Have You taste life from on Your knees
Hear me callin' ya 'help me, please'

Never been in the hell before
Now I'm falling, falling
Heaven's behind the door
And they're calling me again
Hidden beyond the light
And the darkness finds me
Help me escape tonightOh, I must find Azrael...
I am the darkness
Hiding within your mind
Walking beside you
I lock the gates to hell
I toll the final bell
I am forever
I am the blinding light
Probing the endless night
There's no escaping me
Wake in your darkest dreamsGo ahead and try to scream
No one can hear you now
Stare in the raven's eye
Your time has come to die
Welcome to my world
Stand at the end of space
Reach out to touch my face
I am omega
Azrael
I hold the lion's mane
I come in crimson rain
Purging the dark sky
I am the masterGuide to your chosen fate
I am Valhalla
Azrael, angel of mercy
Azrael, angel of mercy
Yeah
Beware my eyes'll find you
And see into your heart
And if you hold the evil
I'll rip you all apart
I'll cast your soul to Satan
Die by holy fire
Rise and stand before me
Burning on the pyre. Burn.
Fly on the wings of gloryBurn in the depths of hell
Your life creates the doorway
Death holds the key
Azrael, angel of mercy
Azrael, angel of mercy
Azrael, angel of mercy
Azrael, angel of mercy
Yeah
